Quote:Mobile phones belonging to Spain's prime minister and defence minister were infected by Pegasus spyware last year, a government spokesperson said on Monday.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s mobile phone was breached twice in May 2021, and Defence Minister Margarita Robles’ device was targeted once the following month, Presidency Minister Félix Bolaños told reporters at a morning press conference.
"We have no doubt that this is an illicit, unauthorised intervention," Bolaños said. "It comes from outside state organisations and it didn’t have judicial authorisation".
The Pegasus spyware behind the attack is produced by Israeli security firm NSO, which says it only sells the software to government agencies.
